How to cook deliciously - Creamy Tuscan Butter Chicken & Orzo

1. Stage

In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add frozen chicken, cover with lid, and cook 10 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°. Remove from skillet and set aside.

2. Stage

In same skillet, melt butter. Add red onion and cook until soft, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and cherry tomatoes and cook until tomatoes burst, about 2 minutes. Add orzo and broth and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to bring to a simmer. Simmer until orzo is al dente, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so the orzo doesn’t stick to the bottom of pan.

3. Stage

Add heavy cream, Parmesan, spinach, and chicken, and cook until spinach is wilted and chicken is warmed through, 1 minute more.

4. Stage

Garnish with basil before serving.
